NBC News is being excoriated in some circles – with competitor Fox News Channel leading the charge – for selectively editing audio of the 911 call placed by George Zimmerman just before he killed Trayvon Martin.
The NBC segment in question featured anchor Ron Allen and ran on the Today show on Tuesday. On Thursday, Sean Hannity and guest Brent Bozell played the NBC version of the 911 call and compared it with the unedited version.

In the NBC segment, Zimmerman says: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”
The full version, though, unfolds like this:
Zimmerman: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good, or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.”
911 operator: “Okay. And this guy, is he white black or Hispanic?”
Zimmerman: “He looks black.”
After playing both versions, Hannity said: “They forgot the dispatcher’s question! How could NBC, in good conscience, do that?”
“This isn’t bias, this isn’t distortion, this is an all-out falsehood by NBC News,” answers Bozell, who runs a conservative watchdog group called the Media Research Center.
“When you hear him say, ‘he looks black,’ anyone watching that believes that there are racial overtones to what this man did,” Bozell says. “How could you not believe that? It goes with the narrative of the profiling. The only problem is, they edited out the dispatcher asking him, ‘what does he look like?’”
NBC News declined to comment.
NBC? What is it?
NBC outright lied, read the transcript. It explains it.
The Rather Rule of Journalism: “Fake but accurate” doesn’t even apply in this case...
What's the surprise?
Go to the video. This an outright attempt to start a race riot. And it will not go well for the lynch mob it has created. NBC may be in really big trouble over this outright lie.
It worked in the Rodney King beating (just showing King AFTER he attacked the cops). The jury that saw the whole tape cleared the cops, so the government had to over-ride the verdict with “civil rights violations”. The American Bolsheviks learned the lessons of Dr. Goebbels well (and put them into use EVERY DAY); there is nothing that you see in the media that has not been analyzed and produced for some intended purpose - every word out of a newscaster’s mouth has been carefully selected, every word and image in a commercial put there carefully.
I’ve been pointing out to my young children how commercials make men look stupid, then remind them that the television was made by a man, etc.
The more you watch the alphabet networks, the less you know about what is going on in the world. And the more you know that just isn’t so.
What's the surprise?
Honestly each day goes by and i do not think i can get any more upset with the left......YET I DO!
I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF THIS.
This is outrageous, nothing short.
When this nonsense started a week ago all the race-baiters were squawking about Zimmerman saying”he’s black”, and they are still doing it. SO pathetic.
This may wind up like another LA Riots scenario over this kind of yellow journalism. And hats off to FOX for leading the charge.
NBC, unavailabe for comment.........
That is totally disgusting. And yes, they are trying to start a race riot because they know Obozo is going down in the election.
The maggots who edited that garbage should be charged with inciting riots. This is a disgrace. More lies from Barry’s state run propaganda machine.
Dan Rather
Walter Duranty
Ron Allen
Etc
Tried and true tradition of pure propaganda
Is Hannity an idiot?????????? In good conscience??????????? What a moron. He actually believes NBC is interested in the truth???????????? Their inciting a race war and race riots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a jackass. No wonder the GOP is FU!
Sean Hannity is a good guy, but not the brightest bulb in the bunch..he still shows pictures of Trayvon Martin at age 10
